What do reviewers say about Andalusian Soul and Noir Exquis?
If you want a literal Spanish countryside fragrance, look elsewhere. Andalusian Soul is an amber-dominant experience with boozy rum and smoky depths. The acacia and vanilla soften things, but smoke.Andalusian Soul
Noir Exquis sits in a sweet spot between a Gourmand and a woody fragrance. The coffee and maple give it genuine richness, but the wood and heliotrope keep it from feeling like dessert.Noir Exquis
